WeWood Watch - Review (And a Giveaway)

The baby of an Italian shoe dude who loves watches and two eco-smart entrepreneurs with a crush on the environment, WE fashions wooden timepieces from mostly scrap-wood and uses state-of-the-art Miyota movements for the guts, resulting in a unique watch that's handsome, earth-friendly, and splash-proof.
The first timepiece was designed in Florence, Italy (2010) and with the widespread craving for newstalgia and eco-friendly ethos, WEwood hit the scene as the avant-garde approach to sophisticated sustainability. A few months later, WEwood opened a branch in Los Angeles, CA and teamed up with tree-planting-partner, American Forests.

With this happy pact, the goal is to help restore Mother Nature, one watch at a time, by planting a tree for every WeWOOD purchased. In just the first three months, WEwood planted 5,000 trees with American Forests, and sets challenging targets for 2011 and beyond. Keeping forests healthy and happy keeps us healthy and happy, we like to keep our reminder on our wrist.

The Tree and The Wood Watch

WEWOOD lets us rediscover nature in its beauty, its simplicity and inspired design. It reminds us of a tree’s powerful way of life; rooted, yet reaching.
Completely absent of artificial and toxic materials, the WEWOOD Timepiece is as natural as your wrist. It respects your skin as you respect nature by choosing it. Your WEWOOD Watch breathes the same air that you breathe and may awaken memories from another time and place. Your WEWOOD Watch records your sensations and shares your experiences as the perfect natural mate, whose story also becomes yours to wear, smell and feel.

Rebuilding an Endangered Ecosystem - One Tree at the Time

A philosophy not implemented is only a dream. Conversely, when you get your WEWOOD Timepiece, you can feel confident you’re making a difference. One Timepiece plants one tree, and together we help to ensure the health and survival of the natural world.
One Watch – One Tree – One Planet

My Review:

My husband likes watches, he has several so when I told him about We Wood watches (http://we-wood.us/) he was intrigued. These aren’t your typical watches; they’re made out of wood, well the watch band and face that is, making this a very different and really unique time piece. My husband received the We Wood Date Brown/Army watch, meaning he now has a watch to go with his collection of green/camo cargo shorts. He was excited, he likes to match.

The watch is nice, it’s different and when people take a look at his wrist they immediately do a double take and say is that really wood? It’s a conversation piece, you will get noticed wearing this watch. It’s a really top notch watch, the wood looks good and feels good on your wrist, and was easy to adjust to make it fit his wrist; it took my husband all of 2 minutes to remove a link. The watch sells for $119.00, which is a great price for such a nice looking time piece.

You have 7 different colors to choose from and no two watches are the same, because they use wood colors might be a little different from the way they appear on their site. So you’ll basically have a one of a kind watch in a way. And the really nicest thing is that for every We Wood watch that is sold a tree is planted. So do something nice for yourself and the environment and get yourself a We Wood watch!

Winner will have 48 hours to reply to my email or another winner will be drawn from random.org.
